Document Notarisation Services

Let us take care of all your document preparation and legalisation requirements – including queuing at your Embassy – quickly, accurately, and cost effectively.

Our team is experienced in handling every stage of the document legalisation process, ensuring that your corporate and private documents are legally recognised abroad.

Whether you or your Company are entering into a cross-border commercial contract, investing in foreign assets, or expanding your organisation overseas (i.e. entering into a joint venture or setting up a foreign branch office/subsidiary), the original documents approving these activities must be notarised by a Notary Public.

A Notary Public is a registered lawyer or law firm who is permitted to issue Notarial Certificates for documents intended for overseas use, and who can also certify true copies of a sighted original document in a foreign language.

A Notarial Certificate provides assurance to foreign recipients/requestors that a document, originally produced, signed and/or sighted in Singapore, has been deemed authentic by a registered Singapore Lawyer and Notary Public.

The Notary Public is also responsible for filing a record of each Notarial Certificate issued with the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL), referencing their professional number.

However, even with the SAL’s endorsement/apostille, the foreign party for whom the documents are intended may still seek further assurance of a document’s validity and verity. In this case, the documents may need to be legalised the foreign party’s Embassy or Consulate in Singapore.

Over the years, we have forged good relationships with Notary Publics and numerous Embassies. Our personal involvement in handling each legalisation assignment ensures that any issues or errors with the documents are immediately highlighted and remedied.

If you require legalisation of your documents at any of the Embassies or Consulates in Singapore. Give our professional document legalisation team a call.

The estimated cost per page to be notarised starts from S$40.00.  However, all notarised documents must be authenticated and apostilled by the Singapore Academy of Law (SAL) regardless of the country in which these documents are to be used and the detail cost breakdown is as follows:

• The Notary Public’s fees for witnessing the signing of documents and issuing the Notarial Certificate are fixed and set out under the First Schedule of the Notaries Public Rules. The Notary Public is permitted, however, to charge a fair fee for the time needed to read and properly understand the documents to be notarised, as well as disbursements for additional costs (if any), such as: travel, translation services, etc.
• For the authentication of an original document and production of a Certified True Copy by the Notary Public (no Notarial Certificate), the cost is S$40 per page/document with the Notary Public’s stamp and signature.  There is an additional cost for the issue of the Notarial Certificate and for the Apostille Certificate to be issued by SAL.
• The Notary will issue a notarial certificate for all notarised documents. The fee for this notarial certificate is S$76.08.  Therefore, the total base cost for the notarisation of a document/page is S$116.08 per document (excluding handling fee of S$64.80)
• The total cost for each apostille document is S$278.08 and this includes the Notary Public fee of S$180.88 and SAL authentication and apostille fees.

If you require the signing of your document to be witnessed, prior to having it notarised, the witnessing fee starts from S$40.00 per page, depending on the nature of the document.
